Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2294951A1] The device has optical or optoelectronic sensor integrated or fixed with an exploitation and/or processing unit (5) for exploitation and/or processing of signals provided by the sensor. The sensor is a colorimetric detection sensor (4) used for measuring intensities of two distinct colored light components inside a mailbox (3). A lighting unit (6) is provided for lighting a receiving area (7) of the mailbox, where the device realizes measurement functions with lighting effects and measurement functions without lighting effects using the sensor for detection operations. The detection sensor is used for measuring intensities of two distinct colored light components selected from red, green or blue colored components. An independent claim is also included for a method for detection of objects in a mailbox type container.
